Another Charity Scam

It seems nothing is beneath scam artists. Again here is another example of how shady these characters can be.

Name: Hussein Ali

Email: alimanhussien@yahoo.com

Tactic Used: Alleged cancer patient trying to move an unbelievable amout of money from his country to another. Of course he has no family to trust, so he is now putting all his faith in a total stranger through an unsolicited email. Notice the attempt to garner sympathy by insisting his affirmation in God, while subsequently trying to rip people off.

Dear Friend.
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry forme, because, I believe everyone will die someday. My name is hussein ali,a pakistan but a merchant in ghana, in the africa.I have been diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer which was discovered very late, due to my laxity in carrying for my health. It has defiled all forms of medicine, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts.I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone not even myself but mybusiness. Though I am very rich, I was never generous,I was always hostile to people and only focus on mybusiness as that was the only thing I cared for. Butnow I regret all this as I now know that there is moreto life than just wanting to have or make all themoney in the world. I believe when God gives me asecond chance to come to this world I would live mylife a different way from how I have lived it. Nowthat God ! has called me, I have willed and given mostof my properties and assets to my immediate and extended family members and as well as a few close friends. I want God to be merciful to me and accept mysoul and so, I have decided to give arms to charityorganizations and give succour and confort to the less priviledged in our societies, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth.So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the to go,cote d'ivoire,mali. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot dothis my self anymore. I once asked members of myfamily to close one of my accounts and distribute themoney which I have there to charity organization andto the less priviledged in outside africa, they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them. The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of twenty four million dollars that I have with a Security Company in here in ghana for safekeeping. I will want you to help me collect thisdeposit and disburse it to some charity organizations and to the less priviledged. send me a mail in my toindicate if you will assist me in this disbursement. I have set aside 15% for you for your time and patience.While I await to hear from you , may God be with youand your entire family. Remain blessed.
Mr hussein ali

Let me use this time to brief you more about me.
ABOUT MYSELF I was born and bred in pakistan, My father had two wives and six children. I am the first born of my late father and the only child of my mother. My father was a master in the Oil Field and had a large business empire in late sixties and early seventies. I lost my father at the age of 23yrs. after which I took over his business as the first child and the only educated child. I made my first $12M dollars at the age of 23the same year after I lost my Dad in an oil deal with AGIP. I was married to "Late Patience" and God blessed us with a daugther who is equally married and stayswith her husband somewhere in Algeria. Things were actually going well with me (business wise) but mybrothers has never been happy with my progress, and for that reason I have never been kind nor had theopportunity to extend alms to the needy even with all my achievements and wealth not until this period when God has really touched my life, and I have come torealize that money is not everything in life. It willbe better for me to lose all and gain my Soul ratherthan to gain all and lose my Soul. I have been touched by the holy spirit and want to use this little opportunity to extend my warmth kindness to the people of the world through you."open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plea the cause of the poor and needy".

MY ADDRESS: I am presently in Snow white Specialist Clinic located around accra tema,"Snow white Special Clinic". The doctor(Dr. Anur Sally) is very popularly known and he has been my very good friend for years and has been very nice to me. I must be very sincere to you. You are the second person after my daughter that I am telling where I am. The things of the Lord shall forever remain real. Let us join hands and fight the battle to save the "souls"of the righteous.
Please respond with your name in full, your telephone number and maybe your contact address.
Meanwhile, before we commence I would like us to enter into an agreement stating that you will use the 85% for the Charity Work and 15% will come to you for your time and effort. This is for us to have trust and confidence in one another since we have not met eachother before.
I look forward to a fruitful relationship between us and I pray to meet with you before I finally depart view attach picture

Yes Mr. Ali, I know what you mean. I've had this rash that's been killing me lately. I've even talked to Doctors from Nigeria to see if they could help me, but sadly none of them can. So tell me more about your daughter, is she hot? What does she have to say about you not giving her the money? I don't want her to be mad at me, you now how women get. Who is "Last Patience?" It sounds like a song by Gun's N Roses, I like that song, its very melodic and touching would you agree?

I've never heard of any of the charities you listed, which is funny because I use to live in Bethesda, MD. Have you ever been the United States? Our economy is in a bind right now, and with your money you would get a great deal here right now. You could go shopping, meet women, go site seeing, all that stuff. Too bad your dying right now. Which brings me to my other point. How is it possible that you have enough strength to email me, but not enough to just send me money. You better be legitimate in your claims, or so help me I will come down on you worse than your "cancer." I don't want to have to involve other strangers to get your money, but I WILL IF I MUST. So you know that I will be honest with it.

Once I get your money how should I spend it? I would like to install a jeigermeister machine in my house, or possibly a starbucks machine. Do you drink coffee? You must have had a long strange life, probably doing Pakistani stuff right? Well take care, you better not die before I get your money because I will haunt you in the afterlife. I'm not joking. You will find no peace! Take care and try to go in your sleep, I hear its better that way.

Life is Short.
